Anyone else just want to drink, or cry?

Paul Ryan getting his knife out for the New Deal...For Medicare...and we have to endure this for four years with nothing to stop him. What did we do to deserve this? Why is he such a sociopathic piece of garbage? Anyone else feeling just...deep despair?

I'm feeling euphoria. Calm down and keep your concerns in the "sky is falling megathread."

Euphoria? My mother who worked as a nurse for 30 years, who contracted Hepatitis C while working as a nurse, got a liver transplant in 2013. She survives by taking around ten different medications a day. Medicare makes it so that the cost of these medications, while still high, doesn't bankrupt her. If she didn't have these medications she would die. I am sure my mother did more for her fellow man than you, or Paul Ryan, ever did or ever will. She does not deserve to lose her coverage and die because you and people like you think Ayn Rand is God.

Uh, my brother relies on Medicaid too. It isn't going anywhere. Quit projecting your own weakness and lack of motivation on a great man like our big beautiful President-elect and get out and do something for your own candidate. You guys lost because of your own overconfidence, ineptness, and continuous ability to isolate your rapidly shrinking coalition from the rest of America which has all of the same problems that people like your mom who may or may not have been through what you are posting about. Get over yourselves. Trump voters have problems with their lives too. And that is why we elected him.

Trump has stated he wants to block grant Medicaid to the states in his 100 Day Action Plan. I did not support Hillary. I did note vote for either because I could not morally bring myself to support either. This is not about victory or defeat. This is about common human compassion that transcends party lines.
